High School Aviation Program at Marine Military Academy<\/h1>\n

\"aviation<\/a>In addition to its strong college-preparatory curriculum and exemplary Marine Corps Junior ROTC program,\u00a0Marine Military\u00a0Academy <\/a>offers a professional high school aviation program<\/b> for boys who wish to take to the skies.<\/p>\n

The high school aviation program<\/i> at MMA<\/a>, known as the Air Wing<\/a>,\u00a0 is taught through a private contractor that provides academic aerospace courses as well as actual flight training. MMA’s Air Wing offers currently enrolled students two advanced courses. The aerospace electives, which follow the Jeppesen-Sanderson pilot training syllabus, provides the student with the knowledge necessary to pass their private pilot written exam. Additional courses are available to take the cadet all the way through to instrument, commercial and certified flight instructor certifications.\u00a0Read more about the program in Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association magazine<\/a>.<\/p>\n
